When the resolution is called as refutation-complete? A. Sentence is satisfiable B. Sentence is unsatisfiable C. Sentence remains the same D. None of the mentioned

[amp_mcq option1=”Sentence is satisfiable” option2=”Sentence is unsatisfiable” option3=”Sentence remains the same” option4=”None of the mentioned” correct=”option1″]

The answer is: A. Sentence is satisfiable.

Resolution is a proof system in propositional logic. It is called refutation-complete if every unsatisfiable sentence has a resolution refutation. In other words, if a sentence is unsatisfiable, then there is a sequence of resolution steps that starts with the empty clause and ends with the sentence itself.

Option B is incorrect because a resolution refutation does not necessarily prove that a sentence is unsatisfiable. It is possible for a resolution refutation to exist even if the sentence is satisfiable.

Option C is incorrect because a resolution refutation does not necessarily change the sentence. The resolution steps only remove clauses from the set of clauses being considered.

Option D is incorrect because one of the options is correct.
